Defence Aaks Documents. -At
judge Dale's suggestion, the Jury
was retired at this point, when the
defence started a crossexamlnatlon of
the witness, who said be first came to
El Paso in July in connection with
this case, on which he has spent in
all about five days In preparing to
testify.
The defence then moved. In view of
the fact that all of the documents
examined by witness have been in
possession of the state, that the de
fence be granted a reasonable time
to have the documents examined bv
an expert on their, the defence's, be
half. "Judge Dale, did you have knowl-
IMPORTANT I
NOTICE
1
edge, or reasonable crrnnnri to h
lieve, that this character of testimony
would be used?" the court asked.
"Only an Intimation when sheriff
Orndorff testified," judge Dale re
plied, and since that time has un
dertaken to secure handwriting ex
perts. The arrival of an expert is
expected now," added Judge Dale.
The motion was overruled and the
defence excepted. The court had pre
viously asked If the Silver City reg
ister had not been introduced at the
examlningtrial last June. The state
reouea in tne anirmatlve.
Judge H. D. Terrel. of the defence,
told the court that he had received a
communication that the witness Tip
ton had not Indulged In expert hand
writing study for years.

The telegram written by Jones and
addressed to his wife whep he was
arrestea- was me Dasis ot witness a
study, he said.
Tell of Handwriting Study
Witness went into minute details
of how he studies handwriting, fol
lowing which . a blackboard was
brought into court and witness dem
onstrated thereon the features of the
handwriting he had studied on the
basis as compared with the "F. R.
Jones" signatures of the Colorado
rooming house register.
Mr. Tipton observed similarities in
the "F's" and the "Js," explaining the
peculiar features or each.
In order to have the demonstrations
in the record, large sheets of card
board were used from this time on.
Witness then went into the details of
the formation of each letter In "F. R.
Jones."
Say Same I'eron Wrote Telegram.
Witness, after explaining his study,
said that in his opinion the same per
son that wrote the telegram In ques
tion had written the signatures in the
rooming house register.
"In your opinion, who wrote the
memoranda on leaf IS, of the "Coggin
note book?"

cess Thursday. After qualifying as
an expert bacteriologist and chemist,
he told of examining a Buick auto
mobile last June in the custody of
sheriff Seth B. Orndorff. "There
were several red stains, and the
question was whether they were
blood or not. There were also bits
of hair.
"Most of the stains were on the
back curtain. Sections of stains were
taken out and examined to see if
they were blood or not.
"I made a chemical test and de
termined they are chemically blood.
I found on test it was human blood,"
said Dr. Waite.
Says Stain Unman Blood.
Witness said he had also examined
an iron bar and a whisky box with
stains, taking specimens and deter
mining the stains weer human blood.
Witness said he had also taken sam
ples of hair on the bar and on the
auto curtain and found they were

put In the solution and if the stains
are of blood, certain characteristic
crystals are used, witness said. He
was then asked for and gave a tech

continued with a detailed technical
series of questions on blood, until
